Lot of fun guys. Looking forward to drafting in 18 days.

Whatever the money, make sure to make it out from this league or FBG. It was one of my most satisfying wins and I'm honored to be able to help his family in his memory.

3. tie Dr. D $94 / shuke $94

Sorry but no. 

 

[shuke]

Sorry but no.

What kind of bull#### happened overnight? I quit.

I accumulated pitching stats in live scoring but was out of innings. 

Congrats on 4th! 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Unbelievable SoCal won, that’s amazing. Great job Jamny 

 

[Bogart]

Good season guys!! Pretty happy with my finish, my co-owner gets the day-to-day grind credit. Soto finishing top 10 and picking up Aquino were the highlights of our season. Dropping Soroka and not drafting Lynn or Minor to avoid Ranger Shtick were the lowlights.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

did we win 

Please phrase in the form of a question. 

 

[Capella]

I wish my co-owner didn’t trade Max Scherzer for the 22nd best AL outfielder 

 

[Chemical X]

I wish my co-owner didn’t trade Max Scherzer for the 22nd best AL outfielder 

i'll be honest, I think pham was better than max after I got him.  of course, he had the "chemical x death" after I acquired him, so I think he was shut down 4-6 weeks?

 

[Capella]

I wish my co-owner hadn't drafted the 135th OF in the 5th round.  So, totally understand your frustration.

BUT AT LEAST KIMBREL'S 6.5 ERA AND 13 SAVES IN THE 7TH MADE UP FOR IT.

ETA: I hope Taggart signs a lifetime extension.

 #### you. Also, you’re doing the draft in January. I suck. 
 

ps please don’t lose to the GD Jorts (you’re gonna lose)

 

[Chemical X]

draft starts next week?

 

[General Malaise]

The GoFundMe site for Gary is no longer taking donations.  I clicked a link to contact the organizer and let her know about the fantasy baseball league and that we had money we wanted to send to his family (at least, I think I did - I tried to copy/paste the note I wrote to share with you guys, but the box closed, so I think it sent...if I don't hear back, I'll try again to contact her again).  

I'll pay out the rest of you shortly.  Make sure I have your PayPal info please.

[General Malaise]

1. SoCal/Jamny $1125

2. Pickles $563  PAID

3. Dr. D $188   

I paid out A-aaaaron and await PayPal info from Dr. D.  I contacted the person on the GoFundMe page and will hope to hear back so I can pay out to Gary's family.  Short of that, I'll just pay Jamny.

I think socal would've wanted his funds going towards our entry fees next year.  pretty sure of this.

Really is a hell of a league where 14 dudes come together, try their hand at altruism to pay the league dues for an ailing mate, don't hear from him for months because - oops, death - and despite that, he wins going away and in an attempt to send his winnings to family, is met with the news that the website is no longer taking donations.

Cake 2019....what on earth is next?

I don't know what i'm more upset about.....us paying for him, him winning or him passing away. 

 

[Capella]

A dead guy winning this league really is the most cake thing ever.

No way I’d sign up for this league if I wasn’t already in it.

i'd still finish behind them all......

 

[General Malaise]

I mean....we could roll it over and reduce everybody's league dues next year by an equal amount to defray the entry fee. 

Let's see if I hear back from Celende Alderete.  

 

[General Malaise]

DD paid.

Give it to Jamny or charity if we don’t hear back. None of us slobs needs the 40-50 bucks it would reduce costs by. 

 

[Capella]

I bet if you had 5 kids, you'd change your tune.

After kid 2 I would’ve changed a lot more than my tune 

 

[jamny]

How about this?

If you don't hear back, I'll throw $500 of my winnings into next years pot. 

Split it or maybe make it just for 1st place.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah give half to the charity that supports whatever killed him in his name, rest to jamny. #### rolling it over. 

 

[shuke]

Send it to Jamny. He earned it.  He can donate as much as he wants.

I’ll 2nd this 

 

[General Malaise]

Jamny, PM me your info and we'll close the books on 2019.  

 

[jamny]

I sincerely appreciate the offer, guys. I was motivated to win to help out SoCal's family but unfortunately that doesn't seem likely now. Since I never had any skin in the game, it never felt like my money so I can't accept. Please send my winnings to BB's Chance for Hope so it can be put to good use. If you'd rather I do it, let me know and I'll send you my info.

 

[Capella]

You’re a good dude jamny

I am more than happy to do it, but don't you want the tax write off?

The standard deduction worked better for us and we'll be doing that again this year. Feel free to take it if works for you.

 

[General Malaise]

Money sent, PM sent to BB.  You're a damn good egg, Jamny.

You guys all deserve kudos as well for letting him in without payment when he probably really needed a distraction from his health issues, letting me take over his team instead of just letting it die with him and for still giving me the payout that allowed me to do it. Yet another example of what makes this board great.

 

[RnR]

Jumping in to say kudos, fellas. Good stuff. Donation to Chance for Hope in honor of SnoreCal seems like a fantastic gesture from everyone.

You're automatically in next year.

GM shared the news about what transpired this season. What an emotional trip I’m sure this was for all of you. Thank you jamny for the donation to Chance for Hope Foundation and to everyone else for supporting this generous decision.

As you may know, one of our programs at Texas Children’s Hospital is to deliver meals to families of children who are undergoing inpatient chemotherapy (unlike adults, chemotherapy often involves inpatient hospital stays of three to seven days). Parents usually live with their children in the rooms and many times forgo meals because they don’t want to leave their children’s bedside. We have recently committed to doubling the frequency of our meal delivery service and this money will go toward our efforts with this program. It is amazing how something as simple as a delicious meal served with a smile can buoy the spirits of families who are facing the scariest challenge of their lives. And make no mistake, most of the kids undergoing treatment opt for our meals over the hospital food as well!

Thank you all again for your thoughtfulness and generosity. And I will be keeping SoCal’s family in my prayers.

You don’t have to threaten him.

Not sure I can handle doing two of these long, drawn out drafts. #Pie4Life

If you can't find a replacement, maybe.

Thanks BB for all that you do and for letting us know what the money will go towards. It never would have felt right spending the money so it's great to see SoCal's final contribution to FBG go to such a worthy cause. He seemed like the kind of guy that would approve.
